Chapter 1571


    John kissed her again.


    Sherry ced her palms against his body defensively, but she did not attempt to push him away.


    It did not take long before she lost herself in the kiss they shared.


    Even after when he let her go, she was still holding on to John’s wrist.


    He chuckled.


    Sherry was deeply embarrassed. She stammered shyly, “I... | couldn’t control myself, you’re..”


    She drew the nkets over her face and wanted to burrow herself into a hole.


    John smiled and hugged her. “Sherry, if you still need time to process your leftover trauma from what happened three years ago,


    I''d be more than willing to give you time. But one thing | won''t do is let you go. I’ve had enough of this marriage of ours which is


    nothing more than a formal arrangement.”


    Sherry’s breathing was bing erratic, but she did not utter a word.


    Astiff silence loomed over the two of them.


    John raised his palm and brushed Sherry’s hair with it. “Right, have you considered the offer | made you yesterday abouting


    to Stockton Corporation?”


    Sherry frowned faintly. “No.”


    John asked, “Apart from the prestigious position you hold and the handsome sry you''re paid, do you receive any other special


    treatment at Sager’s?”


    What sort of question was this? What more special privileges would anyone need from a job apart from a handsome sry? She


    answered, “Yeah, why do you ask?”


    John proposed, “If youe to work with me, | will not only triple the sry Sager pays you, | will also let you own shares in the


    company.”


    Company shares? Sherry glowed at the prospect.


    “So, what do you say?” There was a hint of seduction in his voice as he said this.


    Shares were indeed more tempting than just arge paycheck, but at the moment, she did not n to remain in nchester


    long-term. Besides, she also signed a contract with the Sagers and had a verbal agreement with Madam Sager that she


    would take over the reins of the corporation along with Carl.


    “I''ll think about it.” It was a difficult choice to make. She could not make any promises yet.


    John smiled softly. “Okay.”


    With one final pat on her head, he said, “Enoughzing around, Caprice should be up any moment. We should go see her.”


    He let go of her.


    She poked her head out from underneath the nket and saw that he had already put on his clothes.


    He shed a quick smile at her, then he went into the bathroom.


    Sherry pried the nkets off her and reached for her clothes thrown on the edge of


    the bed.


    After getting dressed, she walked to the door barefoot and opened it.


    She was immediately greeted by Caprice.


    Her hair was braided neatly into a twin pigtail that poked out of the top of her head. She stood rather authoritatively, her tiny fists


    perched on both sides of her waist as she pouted quite angrily at her mother.


    Sherry was rmed by this. She quickly bent down so she could meet Caprice at eye level and asked, “Caprice, what’s the


    matter?”


    Caprice would not speak to her and grunted, “Hmmph!”


    It seemed like she was going to blow fumes out of her nose like what one would see


    in a cartoon.


    Though she was mostly harmless, Sherry felt like she had to be careful in her


    approach.


    Aunt Wanda was standing in the corridor behind Caprice as Sherry darted a nce at her


    Aunt Wanda informed her, “Mrs. Sherry, Caprice is upset because neither you nor Master Stockton spend the night with her.”


    Sherry frowned a little when she heard this.


    Aunt Wanda added, “She woke up half an hour ago and was very upset when she saw that she was all alone in her room. This is


    the first ce she came after she woke up.”


    The child seemed very upset, it looked like the dam would give out any moment and tears woulde pouring like a biblical


    flood out of her eyes.


    Sherry pulled Caprice into her warm embrace. She apologized and tried tofort her, “I’m sorry, Caprice, it’s all Mommy’s fault.


    Mommy shouldn’t have made you sleep alone.”


    Caprice pouted. “And Daddy.”


    Mommy and daddy have both abandoned her! They did not sleep with her!


    Sherry agreed with everything Caprice said, “Yes, Daddy is a big meanie, he was the one who brought Mommy back to his room,


    otherwise Mommy would’ve slept with youst night.”


    That was when arge figure appeared from behind, casting a shadow over the two of them.


    “Sherry, what are you talking about?” John grimaced, his tone was quite intimidating.
